Therapeutic approaches applied to online therapy
Eric commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build motivation one step at a time. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making a change.
He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action while accepting difficult thoughts and emotions. That work can help with anxiety, stress, and finding direction. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of his approach, emphasizing listening, empathy, and a supportive relationship so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and situation. Together they adjust the focus and tools as progress is made.
